A Former Safe Queen

Got this guy back in the early 80's as a gift. New Single Six with both cylinders. As part of my recent discovery of the wonderful world of rimfire handguns I'm about to begin using it.
What can I expect in terms of accuracy? Are there any quirks I should be aware of with this particular gun?
Thanks!

They are pretty accurate but it's hard for me to say. I don't seem to try and shoot real spectacular with wheel guns (not sure why)
One thing I have noticed is the chambers tend to get real dirty real fast, after 100 rounds or so it starts to take some minor effort to get cartridges in.
Enjoy your pistol!

I haven't seen any real quirks with the single six. The revolver is loads of fun to shoot. Given the choice, my wife will choose the single six over the semiautos I have. She thinks two would be better than one. Who am I to argue?
Give it a few hundred rounds and you my find it to be about as accurate as the semiautos.

Song Dawg, would you just quit posting pictures of this stuff of yours that I covet so much? You're getting to be a real pain, do you know that?

Nothing at all tempting about the picture. Well, not much. Really, it's not.
It could be a picture of a stainless model.

Song Dawg: one of my most favorite shooters. It's hard to explain why.
Doesn't appear to like bulk bought Remington.
CCI's yummy
Accuracy? Better than I
Weren't made to be "safe queens"

Thanks for the input, folks!
neophyte,
As a rule I avoid Remmy ammo of any kind. Just too dirty and inconsistent. Yeah, the CCI is great in my 1022's so it'll be my first choice for the SSix.
Blindpig, my apologies for all the pics! If it's any consolation I just made myself take a lap!
